"The thing that I learned from a mentor [was] 'You need to have an exit strategy before you go in.' Meaning, have a long-term vision" // Meet Caroline Mangosing, Diwata of Community: Founder and former executive director of @kapisanan, designer of @vinta_to, as well as an actor pushing for Filipina representation in film - all of Caroline's work centers on uplifting and bringing attention to Filipinx community and culture. Read about how she 'faked it til she made it' by having a vision, seeing opportunities, and learning along the way, all while doing everything #fortheculture in our exclusive interview on hellapinay.com now

[9 MUSES // Created in collaboration with Jodinand Aguillon as part of his arts residency at Pineapple Lab and shot on location in Manila, PH. Inspired by the "Siyam na Diwata ng Sining/Nine Muses of the Arts" sculpture by Napoleon Abueva at UP Diliman and goddess/oracle cards, this series re-envisions modern Pilipina muses as "Diwata Cards" which can be pulled for words of advice for those seeking inspiration.]
